McClatchy: President Obama on Saturday tore into those in Congress and the media who deny climate change, calling them a radical fringe that threatens the future by shutting down debate even among those who might agree with the warnings. "Today's Congress is full of folks who stubbornly and automatically reject the scientific evidence. They'll tell you climate change is a hoax, or a fad.
